Discover the hiring system behind a 55-therapist practice in my FREE Masterclass: The Hiring Method → https://mccancemethod.com/the-hiring-method-behind-a-55-therapist-practice/  In this episode, I sit down with SEO expert Chris Morin to talk about how AI is completely changing the way therapists need to think about SEO. We unpack what it takes to stand out in the Gemini era, why your website has to prove you’re real, and how to make sure your online presence builds trust with both search engines and potential clients. Make sure to bring your paper and pen because this episode is full of actionable tips! Here are some key points in this episode: [03:13] Why content alone is no longer enough for SEO.

Links From The Episode: Work with Moonraker, book a strategy call here - https://moonraker.ai/free-strategy-call/      More About Chris: Before marketing, I was a massage therapist for over 15 years, providing chair massage to local businesses. That work connected me to countless wellness providers and I had the opportunity to experience firsthand their deep desire to be of service in a world that desperately needs healing. I also witnessed how so many amazing practitioners struggle to connect with the clients who need their services the most. A highly intuitive group, many feel that digital marketing is overwhelming, causing them to avoid the necessary steps to establish an online presence. My goal is to help therapists and wellness providers boost their online visibility and connect with their ideal clients so they can build the practice of their dreams." Want to Connect with Chris?
